Get ready for a delicious weekend as the second annual Pennsylvania Chocolate and Coffee Festival returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks on Sept. 27-28. After an incredible debut last year with over 9,000 attendees, the festival is back — bigger, better, and bolder — with more vendors, more activities, and more delicious discoveries for chocolate and coffee lovers of all ages.
The 2025 festival will showcase over 150 small businesses from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and beyond — from specialty coffee roasters and bean-to-bar chocolate makers, to gourmet vendors and unique crafters. Whether you’re a dedicated foodie or just looking for a fun fall outing, there’s something for everyone!
